    About this ebook

    He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Ps. 91:1)

    There is only one miracle cure for Casey Cardell, a space shuttle test-pilot left alone with his crippled toddler son after the deaths of his precious wife and infant daughter. But miracle cures take time and time is running out. NASA needs a test-pilot; Vanguard, the newest top-secret space shuttle is nuclear powered, lifts like a jet aircraft and travels at velocities unheard of. If it can get off the ground. Someone is trying to destroy the spacecraft and everyone involved with it. But pressures without, turmoil within, spiritual attacks and human frailty are no match for an all-knowing, all-powerful God. He brings beauty from the ashes, love from pain, testimony from defeat and success from sabotage in His time. But miracle cures take time. And time is running out...

    Author

    Oliver John Calvert

    Serving the kingdom building ministry of Jesus for over twenty years, the author fi nds his life as an evangelist, singer and writer to be the ‘purpose’ he was searching for before he found the Lord. S-1 Intelligence work in the Marine Corps led to undercover fi eld operative work in civilian life in a private investigative house. Later, as a certifi ed bodyguard unable to resist the impulse to protect, he found that purpose continued to unfold. Finally, as a Lieutenant Staff Offi cer in crime prevention he realized that the sword he truly needed was the one “...sharper than any two-edged sword...” and that the battle he was created for was the one that rages for the souls of men. Now, sharing the Word of God through preaching, singing or writing has become the highest privilege and greatest joy he has ever known.

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
